Find the slope intercept form of the line that has the given characteristics

Question

M = -2 and passes through (-1,5)

Answer 1

y=mx + b is the standard equation for a line in slope intercept form, with m=slope and b= intercept

y=-2x + b. plug in the point to solve for b

5= -2(-1) + b

b = 5-2 = 3

y=-2x + 3 is the line's equation in standard slope intercept form
